The metaphor of the U.S. Constitution “Hanging by a thread” could be “trigger” words for a devout Mormon like Mitt Romney, who may see himself as the hero of an obscure prophecy pronounced by Mormon founder Joseph Smith in 1840, which says that the time would come when the U.S. Constitution would hang by a thread, and the Mormon elders would be the ones to save it.
Perhaps Mitt Romney sees himself, in standing up to the attempted overthrow of the Constitution by Trump and others of his own party, and in voting twice to convict Trump on impeachment charges, as the knight in shining armor, riding in on his “white horse,” to save the Constitution.
